Monday, 5 September 2016

It has been a long week for my
little family; we are all feeling tired and run down. Meme finishes school on
the 18th December which is good as they will have a full week to chill out
before the madness of Christmas.

Here are my #little loves this
week

Read

I don’t think I have read
anything this week apart from some bedtime stories for the girls. I have even
let Meme miss some of her school reading books as she has just been so tired.

Watched

Again, not much at all. Actually,
we have watched quite a few Disney films after school.

Wore

I went for cocktails with my
sisters last Saturday in Liverpool, we had a lovely night and drank far too
many Porn Star Martinis – they are delicious! I wore leather leggings, a vest
and a sparkly jacket. I meant to take a picture but I never seem to get the
chance as I am always rushing out the house.

I have also worn an umbrella – why does it always
rain during the school run? Wet School Run

Heard

Lots of Christmas music, we are
definitely feeling festive in our house. The Pogoes has got to be my favorite
though!

Made

Every year my Girls collect fir
combs and then make them all a little festive with glitter glue. They love
doing this and it’s nice to get them involved in the Christmas decorations.

And
Lastly

It is December! My girls were
very excited to open their advent calendars on Tuesday, they have 3 each! They
are counting down the days until Christmas, whilst I am counting down the days
until the school holidays – no school run for 2 whole weeks! Yippee!

Here's a submission for the
"Merry Christmas to Me" rubber stamp giveaway from The Stamping
Studio. Vicky from Lagrange, GA shares her Christmas Countdown 2016 Calendar with
us.

Christmas Countdown Calendar

This is a cookie sheet pan spray
painted and then some base parts covered with cardstock. I printed a ready-made
number sheet on cardstock. Then decorated each numbered square with whatever.
Some stamped and some stickers. The stamps I used were from The Stamps of Life
by Stephanie Bernard. Added glitter glue, colored pencils and a variety of inks
and topics. Each numbered square is mounted on chipboard and then a magnet is
adhered to the backs with glue dots. The title was cut using the cricut and the
black base was embossed with the cuttlebug.

The simplest answer would be that given by the famous lyrics Andy Williams, because "It's the most wonderful time of the year .

We all feel like time is passing faster and faster. And this year, we see how the bustle before Christmas leaves its mark everywhere. The lights come on, stores turns into a fairytale landscape, with shelves full of gifts and decorations specific to the season and we all become every day more and more excited.

Gifts : ask any child what he likes best Christmas and the first thing I will say is receiving gifts!

Family : being with your loved ones in this period is part ofthe joy that Christmas feel.
